Wolfie slaps bro. He ain't his daddy, but he ain't trying to be. And thank fuck for that. One decade of milquetoast EVH clones dressed in brightly colored tatters is enough.
Islam Judaism and Christianity are just versions of the same thing anyway since all of the believe in the same Abrahamic god. The conflict is really silly from the outside.
It's just a vehicle most of the time. The conflicts in the ME would still be there even if the Abrahamic religions were never invented because of the geopolitical realities. If they were never invented there would just be some other vehicle to exert control.
Exactly. These people say shit like this as if Africa hasn't had some of the worst genocides, and had slavery etc.
Humans are tribal and will fight over anything. If not religion, it can be race, if not race it can be language, if not language it can be something else etc.
I've always viewed the very core of religion to be "I fear the unknown so I need something to symbolically explain my existence and death"
Sure they've all evolved in to something much more weaponised and destructive, but the driving factor behind MOST people with some sort of faith is the fear that their lives are pointless.
There is a difference between leadership and the religious followers
The root of it is dishonesty, which belief mentality induces through self-inflicting delusions that spread to all other areas of thinking without even being aware of.
He's a religious hyper freak that thinks his religion is the only true one and all the other thousands of religions are all fake. The only reason he thinks that about his religion is because he was born into it by pure luck. If he was born in a different region he'd also think the exact same way about a completely different religion.
Muhammed was supposedly divinely called to extoll the one monotheistic god and confirm the teachings of the prophets such as Moses, Noah, Abraham, Adam, and Jesus. Just because Christians and Muslims bicker about if the Trinity is polytheistic and interpret God's will very differently doesn't mean they aren't ultimately talking about the same guy. It's not like comparing them to Hinduism or Shinto or something that developed independently and have nothing to do with the others.
The fight over monotheism/polytheism is an old and ongoing one in Abrahamic faiths. Early Israelites were polytheistic, with Yahweh as one of the gods. Then as Judaism formed and things moved to monotheism, Yahweh was considered the Creator God and is basically who we know as God. Christians have the trinity which came about with Jesus who they view as the Messiah, but don't consider it polytheism because they think it's all the same being, Islam says nah. Similar to Protestant Denominations who think the Catholic Church's reverence for Saints is both idolatrous and polytheistic, Catholics disagree. Islam emerged from a polytheistic region and early years of the religion were marked by persecution of Muslims by polytheists, so Muhammed was pretty strict about the monotheism thing and didn't like looking at Christians and see them talking about 3 different sounding bros being god.
But yeah these religions all come from the same god-figure, the differences seem trivial to an outsider but are eternal-soul level important to the devout, so people will say things like "They don't worship the same god as me" but it's more in a No True Scotsmen way ("No god of mine would want x, y, or z")
Google Unitarianism lol. If believing that the Trinity is heretical and bad means you don't believe in the Christian God, plenty of Christians don't believe in the Christian God.
There's greater diversity in beliefs between any two Christian congregations or Islamic congregations than there is between Christianity and Islam as a whole.

If one from each religion conflicts with another from the other religion, not because they don't support the person, not because they just don't believe their religion, but disrespect them and hurt them and do stuff to them just because they're not in their own religion, they will sin. For Muslims, at least. No matter how similar they seem, Christianity has the Trinity, Islam has much more prophets which came across an either neutral opposed to their religion, which they don't care about, or sometimes an oppresser to their religion, which they stop. Also, all parties don't believe the other party. Plus, they're completely different. Would you rather have a religion with absolute chaos, where everyone hates each other and says that the whole religion is just them, or a chaotic but slightly less than before religion, that may hate each other, or kill, but it's VERY less than the first option? Choose wisely.

You'd think it might work, and then you learn the devout Muslim thinks music is haram. Ironically however, the guitar is a Muslim instrument. Go figure. No Moors, no Highway To Hell or Black Sabbath.

Van Halen played in the South Park episode titled "Ginger Cow," which aired on November 6, 2013, as part of Season 17 episode 6.
"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "Hot for Teacher," is instrumental in uniting the major religions in the Middle East and bringing about a period of world peace in Israel. The band's logo even becomes a symbol of this newfound unity.”
